Beautifully illustrated, a story about a small girl who has a lot of determination because of her lack in size. She is just as smart and capable as adults. Similar to the story the lion and the mouse, when the small mouse helps a lion get a thorn out of its paw. This small girl helps to put out the flames after the tiger roars and accidentally swallows the sun!
Excellent read.

This reminds me so much of Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. Heartwarming.

abigailbat's review against another edition
Being little does not mean you can't do big things. Soe-In is a tiny person, but she finds ways to keep up with everyone in her village and pull her weight. When the sun disappears, village elders ask for a volunteer to investigate and Soe-In is the only one who raises her hand. When she discovers that the spirit tiger has accidentally swallowed the sun, she finds a way to help him and save her village with her creative critical thinking.
This is a beautifully illustrated Korean tale starring a brave young girl who doesn't give up. I love that it shows different things Soe-In tries to save the tiger and when they don't work she doesn't give up but keeps thinking and trying new things. And the illustrations are just gorgeous.

These was deeply sweet and so gloriously beautiful that I too wanted to cry like the tiger.

This is a wonderfully illustrated picture book about a Korean folk tale. The Spirit Tiger pictures were breathtaking!

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
